Building hardware - Corrosion resistance - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies the requirements for the corrosion resistance of building hardware for doors, windows, shutters and curtain walling.
This European Standard provides a method of classification of corrosion resistance of building hardware based on performance in a neutral salt spray test (EN ISO 9227).
This European Standard specifies requirements for both coated and uncoated surfaces and five grades of corrosion resistance being laid down in accordance with the different conditions of use grades 1 to 5. A grade 0 is also included for which no requirements have been specified. Requirements for levels of corrosion resistance which are higher than those laid down for grade 5 have not been included in this European Standard and are subject to agreement where required.
This European Standard also applies to the metal fasteners required for fixing building hardware if specified.
Screws and fastenings which are sold with a hardware product which conforms to this European Standard should also conform to this European Standard.
NOTE 1 The term "grade" used in this European Standard corresponds to the term "class" which is used in ISO standards.
NOTE 2 There is seldom a direct relationship between resistance to the action of salt spray and resistance to corrosion in other media, because several factors influencing the progress of corrosion, such as the formation of protective films, vary greatly with the conditions encountered. Therefore, the test results should not be regarded as a direct guide to the corrosion resistance of the tested materials in all environments where these materials may be used. Also, the performance of different materials during the test should not be taken as a direct guide to the corrosion resistance of these materials in service.
The method described in this European Standard gives a means of checking that the comparative quality of a material, with or without corrosion protection, is maintained.
In addition, for quality contr
Schlösser und Baubeschläge - Korrosionsbeständigkeit - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Korrosionsbeständigkeit von Schlössern und Baubeschlägen für Türen, Tore, Fenster, Fensterläden und Vorhangfassaden fest.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält eine Klassifizierung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit von Baubeschlägen basierend auf dem Leistungsverhalten in der neutralen Salzsprühnebelprüfung (EN ISO 9227).
Diese Norm legt die Anforderungen sowohl für beschichtete als auch für unbeschichtete Oberflächen fest. Ent¬sprechend den unterschiedlichen Nutzungsbedingungen gibt es fünf Klassen der Korrosionsbeständigkeit (Klasse 1 bis 5). Darüber hinaus gibt es eine Klasse 0, für die keine Anforderungen festgelegt sind. An¬forderungen, die über die Klasse 5 hinausgehen, sind in dieser Norm nicht festgelegt. Sie müssen bei Bedarf vereinbart werden.
Die Anforderungen dieser Norm gelten darüber hinaus für die metallischen Befestigungselemente, die für die Montage von Schlössern und Baubeschlägen erforderlich sind, falls spezifiziert.
Schrauben und Befestigungselemente, die mit dem Beschlagprodukt zusammen verkauft werden, das dieser Europäischen Norm entspricht, sollten ebenfalls dieser Europäischen Norm entsprechen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Der Begriff Klasse ("grade" in der englischen Fassung dieser Norm) in dieser Europäischen Norm stimmt mit dem Begriff Klasse überein, wie er in ISO-Normen angewendet wird.
ANMERKUNG 2 Es gibt selten einen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen dem Korrosionswiderstand beim Salzsprühnebel und der Korrosionsbeständigkeit in anderen Medien, weil verschiedene Faktoren den Fortschritt der Korrosion beeinflussen, wie z. B. die Bildung von Schutzschichten, variieren diese aufgrund der anzutreffenden Bedingungen. Darum sollten die Prüfergebnisse nicht als direkte Leitlinie für den Korrosionsschutz der geprüften Werkstoffe in allen Umgebungen, in denen die Werkstoffe zur Anwendung kommen, angesehen werden.
Quincaillerie pour le bâtiment - Résistance a la corrosion - Exigences et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de résistance à la corrosion de la quincaillerie pour portes, fenêtres, fermetures et façades rideaux.
La présente Norme européenne propose une méthode de classification de la résistance à la corrosion de la quincaillerie de bâtiment reposant sur la performance à l’essai au brouillard salin neutre (EN ISO 9227).
La présente Norme européenne spécifie des exigences à la fois pour les surfaces revêtues et pour les surfaces non revêtues, cinq grades de résistance à la corrosion étant fixés conformément aux diverses conditions d'utilisation (grades de 1 à 5). Elle inclut également un grade 0 pour lequel aucune exigence n'est spécifiée. Les exigences relatives à des niveaux de résistance à la corrosion plus élevés que ceux fixés pour le grade 5 n'ont pas été ajoutés à cette norme et doivent faire l'objet d'un accord lorsqu'ils sont exigés.
La présente Norme européenne s'applique aussi aux éléments de fixation métalliques, exigés, si nécessaire, pour monter la quincaillerie pour le bâtiment.
Les vis et éléments de fixation vendus avec un article de quincaillerie conforme à la présente Norme européenne doivent également être conformes à cette norme.
NOTE 1 Le terme de «grade» employé dans la présente Norme européenne correspond au terme de «classe» utilisé dans les normes ISO.
NOTE 2 Il y a rarement une relation directe entre la résistance à l’action du brouillard salin et la résistance à la corrosion dans d’autres milieux car plusieurs facteurs influent sur les progrès de la corrosion, tels que la formation de films protecteurs, qui varient grandement en fonction des conditions rencontrées. Il convient donc de ne pas considérer les résultats d’essai comme un guide direct de la résistance à la corrosion des matériaux soumis à l’essai dans tous les environnements où ces matériaux peuvent être utilisés.

Overview
SIST EN 1670:2007, titled Building hardware - Corrosion resistance - Requirements and test methods, is a European Standard developed by CEN that establishes clear criteria for the corrosion resistance of building hardware components. This standard is essential for manufacturers and quality controllers dealing with hardware for doors, windows, shutters, and curtain walling. It defines performance requirements and testing protocols based on exposure to neutral salt spray (EN ISO 9227), providing a reliable measure for comparing corrosion resistance across different materials and coatings.
Key Topics
Corrosion Resistance Classification: The standard classifies corrosion resistance into six grades (0 to 5), where:
- Grade 0: No defined corrosion resistance
- Grade 1: Low corrosion resistance
- Grade 2: Moderate corrosion resistance
- Grade 3: High corrosion resistance
- Grade 4: Very high corrosion resistance
- Grade 5: Exceptionally high corrosion resistance
These grades correspond to different service conditions, from indoor dry environments to very severe outdoor exposure.
Test Methods: Testing is carried out using the neutral salt spray test as per EN ISO 9227. The duration of exposure varies with the corrosion resistance grade, ranging from 24 hours for grade 1 to 480 hours for grade 5.
Functional and Appearance Criteria: Products must retain full functionality after testing. Surfaces should show no tarnish, blackening, or unacceptable corrosion spots beyond defined limits. Blistering is assessed according to the EN ISO 4628-2 standard, with strict limits on blister density and size.
Scope of Application: Applies to both coated and uncoated hardware surfaces, including metal fasteners used for fixing building hardware. Screws and fasteners sold with hardware must also comply with the standard.
Marking and Documentation: Products must be marked clearly with the relevant corrosion resistance grade and EN 1670 designation, ensuring easy identification and traceability.
Applications
SIST EN 1670:2007 is tailored for a wide range of building hardware applications where corrosion resistance is critical for durability and performance:
- Doors and Window Hardware: Ensures long-term protection against corrosion impacting locks, hinges, handles, and other components.
- Shutters and Curtain Walling: Assesses hardware exposed to outdoor and severe environments to maintain safety and aesthetic quality.
- Metal Fasteners: Guarantees screws, bolts, and fixing elements meet corrosion standards matching the hardware they secure.
- Architectural and Construction Industry: Supports manufacturers, designers, and specifiers in selecting materials and finishes suitable for specific environmental conditions.
- Quality Control and Assurance: Provides objective, reproducible test methods to measure performance and maintain manufacturing consistency.
